Sunan Ibn Majah 2144 — Moderation In Seeking To Earn A Living

اردو

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُصَفَّى الْحِمْصِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَجْمِلُوا فِي الطَّلَبِ ، فَإِنَّ نَفْسًا لَنْ تَمُوتَ حَتَّى تَسْتَوْفِيَ رِزْقَهَا ، وَإِنْ أَبْطَأَ عَنْهَا ، فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَجْمِلُوا فِي الطَّلَبِ خُذُوا مَا حَلَّ وَدَعُوا مَا حَرُمَ " .

´It was narrated from Jabir bin 'Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` "O people, fear Allah and be moderate in seeking a living, for no soul will die until it has received all its provision, even if it is slow in coming. So fear Allah and be moderate in seeking provision; take that which is permissible and leave that which is forbidden. "

Explanation & Benefits

Maulana Ataullah Sajid

Benefits and Issues:
(1)
One who is careful to earn lawful (halal) sustenance is not deprived of provision.

(2)
While placing trust in Allah, one should avoid unlawful (haram) sustenance.

(3)
Just as the duration of worldly life is fixed and will not be increased or decreased, likewise sustenance (rizq) is also determined. However, due to a person’s correct or incorrect efforts, he attains either reward or sin.
